18.15 FNC127 – ESQR / Floating Point Square Root
Outline
This instruction obtains the square root of binary floating point.
→ For handling of floating point, refer to Subsection 5.1.3.
1. Instruction format
2. Set data
*1. When a constant (K or H) is specified, it is automatically converted into binary floating point (real number)
when the instruction is executed.
3. Applicable devices
S1: This function is supported only in FX3G/FX3GC/FX3U/FX3UC PLCs.
S2: This function is supported only in FX
3U/FX3UC PLCs.
Explanation of function and operation
1. 32-bit operation (DESQR and DESQRP)
The square root of [ +1, ] is calculated (in the binary floating point operation), and the result is transferred
to [ +1, ].
Related device
→ For the zero flag use method, refer to Subsection 6.5.2.
Error
The contents of [ +1, ] are valid only when a positive value is set. When a negative value is set, the
operation error flag M8067 turns ON, and the instruction is not executed.
